[wp-hackers] jQuery UI Sortable in widget admin interface

[Nathaniel Taintor]

Hi Jeremy,

It sounds like you don't have jquery-ui-sortable properly enqueued. (The
jquery-ui in wordpress only includes jQuery UI-core; you have to also
explicitly add jQuery-UI-sortable).

Something like this should work, if your theme scripts are in
my-theme-javascript.js:

wp_enqueue_script( 'my-sortable-script',
                            get_stylesheet_directory_uri() .
'/my-theme-javascript.js',
                            array( "jquery", "jquery-ui-core",
"jquery-ui-sortable" ) );


Hope that helps?
